REPORT

 |
Left,
eventual second place getter, John Kenny finds himself in
a sea of Randwick Botany A graders with Pat Jones leading
and Jersey Sowa, Mark Robertson and Saxon Johns just
behind. |
|
The relatively calm conditions (especially for Heffron
Park), meant for very fast average speeds with A grade
averaging 42kph and B grade 39.5kph. |
|
|
|
|
 |
An early break in the race
saw John Kenny and Michael "Big Bird" Murdoch away from
the bunch. It was short lasted however and it was
not long till they were reeled in by the chasing peleton. |
|
|
|
|
 |
B grade rolls out of the
start and as usual Andy Matthews was all smiles.
Chris White did very well to place 5th in the winning
company. After all, Chris I and a few others are in
the 50 and over club or very close to it. |
|
|
|
|
 |
Alan Cohen, in second wheel
left, rode very strongly and broke away at one stage in
the race. James Dalton in third wheel is handling B
grade pretty well now and like Andy was all smiles.
Good to have the Flying Fortuna brothers in the race.
They always add a bit of humour to an otherwise serious
event. |
|
|
|
|
 |
In C grade, Matthew McGoon of
Dulwich Hill club was again too strong and after having
done a lot of work on the front, still managed to out
sprint them all for first place. In a turn about
this week it was Matthew first and Andy Hall second. |
|
|
|
|
 |
There is a general agreement
between many of the older member that no one has ever seen
Tony Carauna miss a break. If riders go up the road
you can put money on Tony being with them. Left, as
always Tony can be seen in second wheel marking eventual
winner Matthew Mcgoon. |
|
Wayne Goold had a good ride and finished third overall.
Wayne is pictured in fifth wheel just behind new member
Dave Crampton who also had a great ride. |
|

|
 |
The D grade bunch in action.
Regular Dulwich Hill rider, Alan Sumner sits at the back.
No action shots of E grade this week. In an upset
this week, Joe Gatt was out of the placings.
Congratulations to Gerald Khoury for taking first place
this week. |

Well in case you all thought
that our resident action photographer was better this
week, think again. Well at least there is no moon
and crows shots. The scary thing about this shot is
that he said to me, "What trees?" First we had
blurred vision now what, X-ray vision? |
In juniors we once again practiced our
cornering skills and sprinting skills in the lead up to the
Randwick Botany Junior Open which comes up soon on the 17 July
2004.
